Today when I left for my watch the temperature was 36 (F) 2(C).  That’s 24 degrees warmer than yesterday with rain in the forecast. As I got closer to downtown I could see that it was going to be a beautiful sunrise sky.

I arrived downtown at 6:36am. I could find no falcon in any of the usual spots so I checked the Lake Tower apartment. No sighting there either. It wasn’t until 7:10am as I was coming from the east on Broad St. that I spotted Beauty on the northeast corner of Bausch & Lomb. She was eating most hardily.

Beauty finished up her meal showing a full crop and left the building when I wasn’t paying attention just before 8:00am.

I left to look for Beauty and found her 7 minutes later as I was parking on the Andrews St. Bridge. She was on the top ibeam northwest side of OCSR out of the pouring rain that was coming down.

I left her after a brief few minutes thinking she would just stay there to digest her meal and catch a few winks. I then traveled to Brighton and was unsuccessful in finding a PEFA there. I ended my watch at 8:45am. Keep smiling people whether you want to or not! 🙂
